Why beauty isn’t a feminine thing, why not smiling shows strength and why you need to feel desirable

Chloe J Flowers is a freelance writer and a 9th grade English teacher based in Dallas, Texas, who has an inspirational approach to self-care. In this conversation I love how candid Chloe is in talking about everything from affirmations, taking care of her post-pregnancy body, why black culture seems to equate longer hair with beauty to why she often chooses not to smile in photographs. Links to the products and people Chloe mentions are below. As always, thank you for your support! Please do hit subscribe and I would love it if you could leave a review.
